Q: A 10 foot rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat with the bottom rung on the surface of the water. The rungs are one foot apart, and the tide goes up at the rate of 6 inches per hour. How long will it be until three rungs are covered?

"it would separate this project from others because the devs are cool and have a clue "

A: depends on how fast the boat is moving, or if it isn't moving at all. According to boaty physics, while on water, a body will sink somewhat like an object would fall, except that the water cancels part of the gravity, thus making the object (a rope in this case) fall slower. I can't recall the constant of the water at the moment. Also, it depends on the weight of the rope. Chris Walker, Master in Boaty Physics.
